Blending youth with experience, James Chisholm will captain the side from the back-row.

Chisholm is joined in the forward pack with Lewis Boyce and Dino Lamb, who will make their starting debuts for the Club.

In the backline Harry Sloan makes his first senior appearance since May 2015, having recovered from a knee injury which kept him out last season.

Ross Chisholm and James Lang also make their first appearances of the season, at full back and inside centre respectively.

Among the replacements, first year Academy members John Okafor and Gabriel Ibitoye will look to make their debuts for Harlequins.

Speaking ahead of the match, Harlequins Head Coach, Mark Mapletoft, said: “Sunday provides a fantastic opportunity for a lot of our players who haven’t made many starts this year, in both Europe and the Aviva Premiership, and for those who played well in the A team game last Sunday.

“Saracens are a formidable side, they are the benchmark in England and we will need to be at our best to get the right result on Sunday.”

@GazzaFez - there are a lot of our your youngsters names that I know little about - Is there any exciting talent that we should be keeping an eye out for that may be giving EJ selection headaches in a few years?

I think a "normal" amount for this season. Also ordinarily, you might expect to see both Lozowski and Isiekwe in that team but they're with England.

Tbh it's a decent side but then I thought that last week against a Quins side who I wasn't familiar with at all and you had a good win. Hope it will be a good game but that at home we can redress the balance!

You may have seen some of these with England u20s in the past but I'd recommend you keep an eye on Crossdale for his pace, Malins for his all round game and Conlon for his power. However the stand out for this crop for me is the captain and no 8 Ben Earl. Mobile and intelligent back rower.

This should be a very good game and so many good young players on show.

Really excited to see Ibitoye play as i think he is a massive talent. From our side, watch out for our captain Earl, he is very exciting and I also like both our Flankers particularly Nay who is very aggressive and also really young.

I'm excited to see Chisholm play, he was to me the third best player alongside Ewels behind Itoje and Nathan Earle in that 2014 JWC team and i hope his concussions issues are past him and he can kick on, he is a big big talent.

I think Lamb is a year older than White, which can make a big difference for forwards. Reading England U18 and U20 reports, White seems to be seen as having higher potential, but it may take a while to come through.

Neither of them looks like they've filled out to their adult shape unlike, say, Baby Chis (who was already a bit of a monster as an 18 year old).

HARLEQUINS HAS MADE A NUMBER OF CHANGES AHEAD OF THIS AFTERNOON’S ANGLO-WELSH OPENER AGAINST SARACENS AT ALLIANZ PARK, KICK-OFF 15:00 (LIVE ON BT SPORT).

Phil Swainston has failed a late fitness test on a back injury. Josh McNulty makes his first start for the Club, at tighthead prop, as Josh Ibuanokpe now provides cover from the replacements.

Captain James Chisholm has taken a knock and has been withdrawn from the squad. Ben Glynn moves to blindside flanker, with George Merrick coming into the second row. Matt Luamanu will now provide cover for the back row.

Scrum-half Charlie Mulchrone will captain the side.

In the backs, Ross Chisholm and Charlie Walker have also failed fitness tests. Tim Visser is named at full-back, as Gabriel Ibitoye makes his senior debut for Harlequins. Calum Waters is brought in as cover on the bench.

Very much second best so far although a great try and a great start from Boyce, although that scrum was very worrying. Promising combo between Lang and Sloan as well.

Somewhat unsurprisingly Sarries look organised and we look a bit more random. Partly understandable due to the number of late changes but weâ€™re going to need individual brilliance to win this as we look pretty disorganised as a unit.

oakhavenThe commentary couldn't be any further up Saracens' rectum if they tried.

Agreed. It's ironic that, given what we all know has gone on the last few years, the only club owners that BT ever show in the stands and fawn over are Bruce Craig and Nigel Wray.

Well, apart from those two and Lansdown at Bristol, the other owners tend to be in the shadows on game days. Not saying that's a goo or bad thing, but the only time I enjoy seeing Craigs's face on TV is when Bath have lost!

Thats because Sarries are totally dominating this game. Were lucky to be only 16-5 down. Pack getting absolutely mullered. Agree with Lang & Sloan but with no ball at all, its impossible for them. Didnt expect anything else though. Just get out of here without further injuries!
